    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"I don't know how [the Lakers] let him get away, I swear," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said. "Just looking at the offensive stats, OK, maybe he wasn't a big impact player, but Phil [Jackson] in the past has called him his best perimeter defender. He was right. Phil got that right and we thank him."</div>

    Got linked to this article from KB24.com

    What do you guys think about what Cuban said, Agree or Disagree? KOBE ASIDE.

    I have a gut feeling that everyone will reply to this thread with Gump this, Gump that. But seriously, let's debate it without making fun of Devean.

    Gump wasn't really that bad defensively, as long as he wasn't picking up dumb fouls. But he's nothing special

    If we're talking about offense, then I agree. Defense on the other hand, George gets the edge.
